Again we're assuming that the semi-automatic Rifle was an AR-15 or AK47 variant, one even assumed an FRT was in place...I'll even speculate that it could be done with either, but not easily certainly would take time to cool the barrel and swap magazines, even Belt fed are generally <=250 rounds at a time.

Maybe. Other rifles have 30-round mags though.

Had my share of Drum's before the ban, pretty anti-climatic shooting fast with a ten round limit...
Shooter could have been using a .22 for all we know...not too hard to have a thousand rounds sitting right beside you.

Unless I missed it, I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact that the headline got it right, instead of the usual inanimate object blaming.

"Assault suspect..."
